PCG VP Episode 35
Every gearhead and geek dreams of a house like this! This week we have a very special tour of *Britannia Manor*, the eclectic/fantastic home of the eclectic/fantastic Richard Garriott AKA *Lord British*, the father of the Ultima series and soon to be released MMO Tabula Rasa… Whew. Feast your jealous nerd-eyes on his rooftop observatory, secret passageways and dinosaur fossils. What other bizzare delights await in the sprawling halls of Britania Manor? Well, you’ll just have to watch the dang thing!
A special thanks to Richard for the comprehensive tour… oh, and all that gaming software he insists on cranking out too!

Definitely an amazing home.
I found it fitting that Richard would be learning magic!

Uh, nice vid, but I thought we were going to get the showdown LAN video next? Is that showing somewhere else?

A very cool house. He is rather eccentric isnt he.

Haha! He has a dog agility course! He’s my hero.

Hey WARSnake, Showdown video coming soon, this was just a special opportunity that came up…not every day you get to see a house like that!

So very cool. How awesome it would be to have a pile of money with which to develop your own dream geek house. Good for him for actually doing it.

By the way… I thought the video was very well done. Great transitions, framing and audio. Well done, guys.

Thanks, that was my first time handling a camera for a video podcast so I’m glad it turned out okay. Richard did most of the work, though; you can tell he’s given many, many of these tours before.

Wow, so the christian cross is actually a gun in disguise? That’s pretty cool. I wonder what he uses to defend his house; maybe he has an ancient machinegun on the roof!

Awesome! He has science equipment from the Victorian era…so much cool equipment. I love this man’s house. His swimming pool is might be the best part

I can’t believe it. An automaton for making pepper. I have to buy one of those
